Questions raised over Swahilis, Asians and Arabs’ disinterest in police and military jobs

Kenya: When thousands of job seekers descended on Mombasa’s Tononoka Grounds on Monday for the police recruitment exercise, conspicuously absent were youth from the Swahili and Kenyans of Arab and Asian origins.

The youth  were also absent from other recruitment venues at the Coast, raising questions as to why they opt out of jobs that have been designed to take into account ethnic and other demographic profiles.
